As there is no graph provided in your query, I am unable to directly infer any of the statements you have given. However, I can guide you on how to interpret such a graph:
- If the graph of distance vs. time is a straight line with a positive slope, then the object moves at a constant speed (option a).
- If the graph shows a curve that is getting flatter over time (i.e., the slope is decreasing), then the object has a negative acceleration (option b).
- If the graph is a curve that is getting steeper over time (i.e., the slope is increasing), then the object is experiencing acceleration (option c).
- The graph itself wouldn't show whether the object is moving along a curved path unless it's a graph of position in space, i.e., a graph that shows the actual trajectory of the object (option d). A distance vs. time graph alone does not provide this information.
Without the actual graph, it's important to match the description of the graph with the correct interpretation provided above.
The graph below represents the relationship between the distance traveled and the time elapsed for an object in motion. Which of the following can be inferred from the graph? a The object moves at a constant speed. b The object has a negative acceleration. c The object is experiencing acceleration. d The object is moving along a curved path.
